metropolis to that swells to a daytime population of over 44,000 residents.' The pet-friendliness is "pup-it-table" in South El Monte, felt
in the friendliness neighbors share, flourishing in the parks and dog-friendly
restaurants in the neighborhoods.

South El Monte and plenty more in the greater area. There are also a dozen pet
shops where pet parents can get everything they need for Fido. Looking for
recreational activities? South El Monte hovers above the Whittier Narrows
Recreation Area, which is the trailhead for tons of different walking paths your
four-legged 49er is sure to love! After a day in the California sun, it's time

amazing and outside seating is a must! Pet parents have options from burgers,
wings, and all California cafes between!

doors to the doggos who can enjoy themselves in the outside seating area.
Wingstop has the classic, boneless, and crispy tender wings with over 11 sauces
to toss your wings up. Bring a friend who can wait with Fido while you order, because there's no table service. Also, make sure that friend orders the Garlic
Parmesan wings!

Do you have a dog that loves to run fur-ever? If your dog
is up to the challenge, the Valle Lindo neighborhood has a 38-mile hiking trail
that is mostly for bikers, but Fido can tackle it a few miles at a time. Hiking
along the San Gabriel River trail offers amazing views of scenic vistas and the
surrounding San Gabriel Mountains and, further down the trail, the Pacific Ocean.
You can park at the northern trailhead in Azusa and walk a mile before turning
back -- unless your doggo's a Dalmatian. Then you might be the one calling it quits before him!

Does your dog have an affinity for the Asian culinary scene?
Then he can get his fix at Au 79 Teahouse in the Rosemead neighborhood. At Au
79, you have tons of options in traditional, milk, and Genke teas. The teahouse
has Honey Original Oolong tea, which is meant to be steeped up to 12 times! Or,
you can try an almond milk tea or iced peppermint coffee. Also available are a
few entrees like Taiwanese spaghetti, curry chicken with rice, and egg noodle soup. Confucius say, bring your dog to the teahouse, but bring him a treat so he
doesn't get jealous of your food! Confucius also say, he'll probably still get
jealous...

Does your dog think that dieting is a serious faux-paw of life? If your pupper loves the greasier side of life, then he'll pawsittively love Jim's Famous Quarterpound in the Rose City neighborhood.
Two things haven't changed at Jim's — the amazing food and old-school decor. This
is a local favorite place for the same two reasons! Oh yeah, and Fido can
come along, but don't give him too many fries. You won't want to because they're
addicting! Also, try the fried zucchini and onion rings at Jim's. As far as
burgers go, try them every style you like it. You can't wrong at Jim's!
